Subtracting his birth
registration's date of birth from his death registration's date of
date, we find he died at age 34, or in his 35th year. That's closer
to his death registration's age "about 36" than it is to
the Reformer's "in his 32nd year."

The Reformer article
also says "death occurred suddenly" while the death
certificate says he was attended by a doctor for the preceding 19
days, at least some of which were spent in hospital, before dying of
lobar pneumonia.

Granted, 19 days is sudden
compared to old age or a slow cancer, but not compared to some heart
attacks, accidents or gunshot wounds.

As a bonus for additional
research, Marres' death registration provides his occupation:
sailor.

My thanks to Wayne for
sending his source documents, which allowed me to review them
myself, and share them with you.
